Froch KOs Groves to retain title

Diposkan oleh silent aja Post a Comment

There was no controversy this time.


Six months after unified super middleweight titleholder Carl Froch was awarded a heavily disputed ninth-round knockout victory against British countryman George Groves, he left no doubt of the winner in the much anticipated rematch.


Froch started slowly, but finished with a bang as he knocked out Groves with a huge right hand in the eighth round to retain his 168-pound title for the fourth time on Saturday before a British-record crowd of around 80,000 at Wembley Stadium in London.


Froch floored Groves with a huge right hook with about 30 seconds remaining in the round, with the referee immediately stopping one of most hyped fights in the country's boxing history. He improved to 33-2, with 24 knockouts.


Groves (19-2, 15 KOs) grew into the fight, only to be knocked down with Froch's biggest punch of the bout.
